Are your transformers at risk of causing an outage?
While large power transformers are among the most reliable equipment used in electrical power systems, failures do occur. And with these failures, profits and people can suffer. Replacing a transformer can take several weeks resulting in serious financial and productivity losses. In many cases, a transformer can be repaired but only if the problem is caught before it escalates. Identifying and resolving problems starts with performing electrical testing, maintenance, and engineering services. Proactive maintenance gives you the information you need about the performance of your transformer and related electrical assets. You'll be able to make smarter, more profitable decisions while protecting your people and operations.
Service Solutions
Commissioning Services
The successful operation of a transformer is dependent on proper design, installation, and startup. Our services will verify that equipment has been properly installed to ensure reliable operation. Highly qualified personnel will use a variety of technologies and tests to ensure safe and reliable operations.
Diagnostic Testing Services
Our full range of transformer diagnostic testing services are used to confirm the transformer’s ability to function properly and to reduce the chance of failure. These tests include: IDAX Testing, SWEEP Frequency Response Analysis (FRAX), and Leakage Reactant Testing.
Transformer Preventive Maintenance Services
Fluids and oils circulate in large power transformers to insulate them from high voltage stresses. They contaminate easily due to leaky seals and corrosion. A rigorous preventive maintenance program that purifies and filters these fluids over the life of the equipment will increase reliability and performance. Advanced mobile oil processing equipment provides vacuum, filtration, degasification, and dehydration of fluids/oils to restore optimum dielectric strength, viscosity, and insulation characteristics.
Emergency Services
ERS offers 24x7 on-site emergency service when it is needed. Our emergency services include: Transformer leak repair, Complete transformer gasket replacement, Spill cleanup/recovery, and Fault analysis.
